If I have a worn area on a sterling silver article can I use this to build up a layer of silver, say 1/10 mm thick ?

Sterling shouldn't wear out because it's silver through and through - are you sure it's not just tarnished? If it's silver plated or silver filled (a thicker layer of plating) you should be able to use this to build up a very thin layer but probably not a full 1/10 mm. Hope this helps!

Gotcha. I wonder if you might have better luck getting a metal smith to fill it in with silver solder... Just a thought.

It did not work on the bracelet I was trying to turn back to silver so I'm not sure it will work for you.

If it's not too tarnished, yes. If it's really black, like one piece of mine was, it will work but my muscles feel it and I didn't get all of the tarnish. I used a toothbrush and a scotch scrubbie to get into it, but it worked mostly. Much easier to just wash all the silver twice a year if you really don't use it. Worst case, I think the silver cleaner is Dip It. MUCH easier to use.If you do use it, put it on, leave it for a minute or two, then scrub at the tarnish. I found that worked better, but if the silver is really tarnished, buy the silver cleaner.

I'm not really sure, but it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you may want to try silver polish.

Most of the Silver ... bits are too big. They go from 9/16 to 1 1/2". This sharpener will go up to 3/4". I cant see why it would not sharpen these bits that are 3/4" or smaller. This is a great tool!

Don't know, I am just starting to use this since I was 12, back in the '60s :-/ That would be a question for the jewelers. Apologies .

I had experience polishing silver bracelets and it did an excellent job. You just have to be careful not to use too much compound and to select appropriate tool speed. Otherwise, you may damage silver or gold coating (in case jewelery is coated).

I don't know - I've only used it on silverplated articles where the plate was wearing thin.

I have been using this product for years and do apply it to silver jewelry. It works well. It is a paste, so you will need to rinse it off carefully when you are done to remove all of the residue which dries to a light powder if not completely rinsed. I highly recommend it!

I use it on my silver set and trays and it does a great job. I never used it on my silver jewelry, but it sounds like a good idea?

Not sure, have just used it on copper. Would be afraid it might hurt silver.

Yes, it will work. It has jeweler's rouge in it. I would not, however, use a toothbrush on silver, especially silver plate. Maybe a Q-Tip or some cotton wrapped around a toothpick?

No- but I would stick to gold and silver. I would imagine they would clean or buff up your gems but work visibly on gold and silver. I use it on my wife's diamond gold ring and I have to say- it sparkles like new with No effort. I also use it to clean my stainles steal watch and crystal.

It is what I used to teach myself how to make sterling silver jewelry, which can be quite unforgiving. It took a little practice but I love this set. It has been one of my best purchases in tools toward this venture.

I do not wear any jewelry while cleaning my silver so I cannot answer that question, sorry.

I used it to cover silver plated costume jewelry. The base was alloyed metal. It worked great!

I doubt it, but in my experience, if you keep your silver wrapped up, it doesn't tarnish fast. The more you can protect your silver from the chemicals in the air, the less likely it is to tarnish. These work well for me.

It works pretty well, and without it the silver would get really tarnished. You still have to polish silver once in a while to have it look its best. Have the butler do it--wait a minute, that's me!
